Sun Java Update 7

[Jo Ann]

Sun Java has released update 7.

Can that update be installed on top of the old version 6, or does that version have to be removed first?

[Peter]

I believe so but where are you seeing update 7?

Agreed.
I am curious as I cannot find "Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update
7" anywhere.

Damn Java Update 6, and again 7!

They both slow my IE6 to a crawl, when opening new IE windows.
It took 25 seconds just to get Google (set as homepage) to open up with the Java
Update 7 installed, (down from 2 minutes with the version 6 Java update, which
has since been uninstalled before putting in 7). Going from webpage to webpage
is OK as long as a new one isn't opened up in a separate window.

My machine is 350 Mhz, so maybe my results just wouldn't be noticeable on a
machine that runs 10X that fast (10% of 25 seconds is 2.5 seconds).

I'm gonna have to uninstall this Java Update 7 bloatware that overloads Explorer
for way too damn long.

On a new PC I am seeing boxes with a red x in them, is this because I have
not got an updated Java release? If so how do I get it?

Unless Sun has gone insane - it will update just like all the previous ones
and will update your current version happily.

However - since Sun's download page is down for maintenance:
"Notice: We're Offline for System Upgrades"

It is difficult to confirm.

Make a system restore point, install the update, test it. Works - report
back and let us know - since the rest of us have to wait for the download to
become available.

"Update" is a relative term. All the Sun Java "updates" I have installed
left the old version on the disk. It had to be removed using Add/Remove
programs. Not much of an "update" if you ask me. But, typical of Sun - Ah,
I remember those days supporting Solaris, and SunOS before that. Typical.
You'd think they would have learned something about user friendliness after
all these years :) LOL.

Same here. I routinely uninstall the older version before installing the
newer one.

That is exactly what David is suggesting; To remove the old version
(because it is likely to be buggy) and install the new version.

You seem to have misunderstood his message.

PA Bear, appreciate your post regarding Java updates, but I need some

J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Updates, 2,4 and 6. Also, I have two Java 2
Runtime Environments, SE v1.42_03 and _06. Am I to remove all of these, just
the three J2SE entries, or just the Java 2 Runtime Environment entries?

Well, they actually recommend you keep the older version..

They do not state that "You should not remove it" <- only that "It is
recommended that you keep older versions of the JRE on your system."

They even state:

"If you are running low on disk space, you can uninstall older versions of
the JRE. To remove older versions of JRE, go to Windows Java Runtime
Environment uninstallation instructions page. <
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010800.xml >"

On the page you gave.

After all - there are many people who start with a clean system and have
only the last version - because that is what they downloaded.

As it seems the installer is smart enough to "update" previous versions -
but not to remove the entries in the Add/Remove programs control panel.

However - I usually do not remove the older version - only install the
latest.

[Tom]

Where does it say "not"?

Don't add your own interpretations that do not mean what they say is
"recommended".

From the Sun Java link you provided:

"It is recommended that you keep older versions of the JRE on your system. "

Not quite!! It says "There might be some applications or applets
written and tested against a specific version of the JRE." Only under
these circumstances you need not remove the older onces. It also says:

"If you are running low on disk space, you can uninstall older versions

What is MORE important is the version relative to actively exploited vulnerabilities and
Sun's Feb. 7, 06 bulletin # 102171 "Security Vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment

The Vundo Trojan is one example of of malware that exploits the above vulnerability.

I just did an online installation of version 7. No problems whatsoever.

I decided not to remove version 6 before the installation and ended up with two entries in Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs), one for the old version 6 (119 mb) and one for the new version 7 (120 mb)

Removed old version 6 and now has only one entry for version 7. Everything works flawlessly.

Warning! The online install process gives you the choice of installing Google Toolbar and Google Desktop. They have the Google Toolbar checked, so be sure to remove the checkmark, if you don't want the Google Toolbar installed.

As does the offline install. Always choose the Custom Install option when
installing /anything/!

Warning! The online install process gives you the choice of installing
Google Toolbar and Google Desktop. They have the Google Toolbar checked,
so be sure to remove the checkmark, if you don't want the Google Toolbar
installed.

The new version has still not been posted on their download page, nor via
the live update.
Someone posted the direct link to the new version in one of these newsgroups
earlier, and that's how I downloaded mine. Sorry, but I no longer have the
link.
Tom

I can wait.

Sun Java has released update 7.
Can that update be installed on top of the old version 6, or does that version have to be removed first?
